Hole 5 Discussion

Mousetrap, inspired by the shape of the green, is a medium-length par 4 that offers a choice of lines off the tee. A player may choose to cut the corner and reach the fairway upslope with a driver or fairway wood, but must be mindful of the hidden creek on the left side. A “safe” shot can be aimed just to the right of the tree at the bottom of the hill – the slope of the ground will help the ball roll out to a safe position. The second shot plays longer than the stated yardage, so be sure to add a club, or even two, when making your club selection. The wide green is shaped like a boomerang with a mound in the back center, so it is important to play your approach to the correct side of the green.
